Hi Paul,

Anything new on this? I have never subscribed to Spotify. Just use streaming companies that JPLAY can integrate.

Quote from: Nick B on December 03, 2025, 09:26:52 PMOn Tuesday, I had the pleasure of a visit from Michael and Melody as they started their journey back home to Oregon. They listened to some tunes and we had an enjoyable time chatting. I thought my system was sounding good, especially without room treatments and room measurements from REW. HQ Player was upsampling to DSD 256.

It was a treat to have them visit and associate very familiar names with some faces. Safe travels home, Michael and Melody!
They are great people.  :thumb:

Volti Audio's revised Vittora with WiiM Ultra, Cary SLI-80, Mojo Mystique Z, Triode Wire Labs
Ken Micallef Dec 02, 2025



My fondness for Greg Roberts's Volti Audio loudspeakers has been documented in reviews of the company's Rival and Lucera speakers.



Roberts's CAF room sounded excellent. His system included a WiiM Ultra configured in bit-perfect mode as a dedicated music server with a Teddy Pardo Audio external power supply ($945); a Mojo Audio Mystique Z DAC ($11,000); and a Cary Audio SLI-80 integrated amplifier ($5495) driving a pair of newly revised Volti Audio Vittora loudspeakers ($50,000/pair). Cabling was from Triode Wire Labs.



The Vittora is a three-way, fully horn-loaded design with 105dB sensitivity and power handling from a tenth of a watt to 100 watts. This pair was finished in African padauk with clear lacquer.

Thanks, Ken!

Thanks for posting, Pete. I love the look of those speakers.
You should hear them!  :shock:  :thumb:

I definitely want to! I need to get out more! Things have settled down, so shows in Texas and so. California are doable nowadays.
